Aren't CRC errors due to scratched disks?

I had the same error on my computer, whenever I tried to install the entire C&C: FD, it would always crash, and tell me that there was a CRC error.

My disk had some minor circularscratches on it.

My first solution to this problem was to everything besides the program that crashed (Red Alert 2), unfortunately, though, that only avoids the problem and doesn't solve it.

EA recommends to install it in safe mode, I tried that, but it didn't work.

However this solution did work for me: (NOTE: you need a temporary 10 GB ofhard disk space for this)

make a folder on your desktop called "CnCInstall", then copy the everything on the disk to the folder.

If youreceive an error that means your disk is damaged and illegible, however, if you don't you can proceed with the next step:

run the setup.exeexecutable and install everything, once the installation is finished, see if it works and delete "CnCInstall"
